Dead Island In-Game Trailer

Sticking with the somber tone of the original cinematic that set the tubes on fire back in February, the first in-game trailer for Techland's Dead Island is here. See the real fake island resort of Banoi and its undead inhabitants below.

Dead Island is an open-world first person game, but in this story of a resort turned hell on Earth, the focus is on melee combat, not shooting. Techland is developing Dead Island for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Windows PCs. The game has an unspecified 2011 release date.
